The Olive and Its Home.

II is not too much TO say that the day
is not far distant when the olive and the
olive oil industry will become one of the
most important in the state of California.
The first trees planted are still in good
condition, although they have been neg
lected at times, and are III years old.
The olive grows from cuttings. like the
willow, and will bear in ten years. 1t
comes down to us from our fathers, along
with the fig and the vine. There is a
pretty allusion to it in connection with
the first navigator; olive wood was used
largely in the construction of Solomon's
temple, while the most illustrious of
preachers delivered his greatest sermon
from an elevation shaded by these silver
leafed trees. There are many olive trees
nov living in European countries 1000
years old and upward. This tree will
grow and thrive in rocky and sandy
places. but must not be too far from the
sea. In California il does best from San
Diego to Point Conception, from one or
two to twenty miles from the sea. It's
true home is a semi-tropical climate from
one TO twenty-five miles from the sea:
those at Damascus are fifty miles away,
and | have seen them in this country in q
fiourishing condition even $50 miles away

Pet Phrases In the Pulpit.

All who speak or pra.' in public would
do well to look closely into the words
they use and ascertain just how many pet
phrases they have. Our pastor was noticed
never to use the word prosperity without
adding perfection and glory" The
regular tracks Of thoughts sometimes
betray a speaker. Thus, n Of our min
isters. speaking IN the pulpit Of the late
Horace Cooke called him Horace Greeley,
there being a well worn track that united
Horace and Greeley. And another spoke
Of sufferings Of our Lord in the garden of
Eden, the tracks between garden and
Eden being better worn than that between
garden and Gethsemane. When a mind
is in ruins it often runs in these well
beaten tracks. A very eloquent Presby-
terrain divine happening TO use the word
Peter in one Of his sermons, paused and
said, Peter. Peter. pumpkin eater"

to occupy the pulpit { Christian Advo-

The English "Column EDITORIAL

The column editorial is an illumination
and ought to 60. A man who can't say
all there is to be said on almost anything
in less than a column ought To be SEN
fenced to six months of hard labor in the
"School Of Journalism" until he had
learnt the art Of condensation. But il is
the exact length Of the editorials that
worries me. ] suppose the folks in The
Telegraph and Times and Standard Offices
think the world would cease revolving il
there were a couple of lines, more on
less. than just a column in an editorial.
They ought to risk it some day, if only To
see how universal chaos would seem after
some thousands of years Of regular re-
volving.
The most painful instance | know Of
this sort of thing is the eve column Of
the first page of The Evening Standard.
Some unfortunate maj is condemned 10
write every year 313 different columns
on 313 different subjects, and each sub
iect treated is 10 have exactly the same
number Of lines! What mathematical
padding there must be to make a half col
umD subject stretch the required length.
| wonder how long the doomed man lasts
under the strain! To what lunatic asylum
does he retire when his column dominated
brain snccumts. or does The Standard
keep its own private asylum. as the west

victims! Luke Sharp in Detroit Free

A Word for Criminal Lawyers.

II is a mistaken impression people have
that when a lawyer defends a criminal he
is fully aware of his guilt, and that all
his efforts tend to disprove his guilt. 1t
Is almost as common as the idea that
when a man Is accused of a crime il is
not for him to prove himself innocent hut
for the state To prove him guilty. II has
been my experience land other gentlemen
in criminal practice with whom / have
conversed agree with mel that the men l
have defended who have been guilty have
invariably told me that they were limo
cent, and / have been unaware of the
true state Of facts until the state has
proved them up. Criminals. that is the
professionals, are suspicious, and they do
not tell their lawyers the exact nature Of
their cases. They depend upon their
friends to swear them out. They tell the
lawyer what certain witnesses know. and
these witnesses are summoned. Often
witnesses commit rank perjury, of course,
but a decent lawyer knows very well that
a perjured witness is liable TO break and
spoil the case. and so. il a witness is sus-
pected Of lying. he is ne-er put upon the
stand. No, lawyers are an abused set of
men. They have been burlesqued and
reviled in fiction and drama and paint
ing, and anything will be believed of
them-nothing sooner than they suborn
perjury. II is against their interest TO do
this, and if they won't give a lawyer
credit for morals, perhaps they will for
looking out for his w interests. Law

The annual Gypsy encampments have
about them a ~breeziness, brightness. Ella
ton and interest that you will hardly
find among Gipsies of the road at any
other season Of the year. These pilgriming
people have been separated for a twelve
month. Tho same vicissitudes as touch
and tarnish rs have been theirs The
same good fortunes have glowed upon
them. Every one is agog with reminis-
Genital chatter, experience, hopes. They
are all alive with OVERLOOKING friendships
and good spirits. No one can do enough
for another. Through 1t all, old Gypsy
ballads, reared out by some strapping
tinker at one end Of the camp, will be
caught up here and there until in an in
slant, from spaewife TO chauvie, all are
awhid with song, ending mayhap in
boisterous demonstrations, dancing and
laughter.
Every hour there is a new arrival Of
hooded wagons which have often trailed
their slow way a thousand miles that
their occupants may be with those already
in camp. Then. il you do not believe
nllclto fldNt ftdttS anu nOlu tntlT hlIlu
enshrined in them, you should see the
rousing welcomes given. The whole camp
turns out to meet and greet the newcom-
ers. They are espied and met at a dis
lance and fairly vanquisbed with hand
shaking, embraces and kissings. Old
women are surrounded and led, almost
carried. Gypsy children are slung astride
broad shoulders and galloped along mer-
rily. Men and women are besst by scores
of kin, who accompany them to the
glowing camp fires kindled in their honor.
Fresh horses are quickly hitched to the
dusty wagons and the tired beasts of the
road are led to tether and tempting
food. And while the wanderers are be-
ing gathered in camp, men, women and
children radiantly set about pitching their
tents, unpacking their wagons and pro-
viding every needed comfort with a joy

tious races to shame.-Edgar l.. Wake

Thursday, June as. 1857.

THE Importance Of making q contin-
uous effort to breed up the cattle on
the ranges has been frequently pointed
out in these columns. We refer to
this matter, not ecaus we for q
moment think the stock men do not
fully realize that such is the fact. but
because an occasional reminder may
possibly do some good In causing them
to think over the thing more than
they otherwise would. As long as the
market was confined 10 the range
country itself, the quality OF the cattle
produced did not matter so much, for
q . general rule the scrub would bring
~ much rs a grade steer. But now, as
the time lie approa ,hing when an out.
side market must be sought, the differ
ence between poor and good animals
will begin to make itself felt. 1t Is q
sign ificant fact that the more a steer
weighs, and the better bred he Is, the
better will he the price obtained for
him in the eastern markets. Take
Chicago as an example. Glance
Through the columns of the Drover's
Journal and 1t will be found that the
coarse, heavy cattle" are frequently
nearly ~unsaleable, and that the finer
they are, the better the price. The
actual cost Of raising a scrub steer Is
just as much as IL Is TO bring a good
grade animal to maturity, but when
the two are placed alongside of one
another In an eastern market. the
grade will far outsell his plebeian
brother. The steers heretofore raised
10 this country have been pretty good
ones. Most Of the cattle imported
from Montana had good blood In
them. and were In consequence above
the average. But the herds will soon
deteriorate unless this breeding pro-
cess IL continued by the infusion of
new and better blood. A few thor
oughbred bulls may be put on the
range, and their get from q common
range COW will produce an excellent
grade. The male offspring are re-
tanned for service, and crossed on q
range COW, will get animals not quite
% good as themselves. Their male
offspring get animals less pure again,
and so the deterioration goes on, I'M
less this down breeding lie promptly
checked at the proper time, and is
kept up to the proper standard by
keeping up the superior strain. This
can only be done by using thorough
bred and grade bulls on the range
Exchange.

A vAssAa COLLEGE SPREE.


A Mysterious Midnight s~pread-Ths
Martyr Of the Tin Bssin.
Dearer to the heart Of college students
than all public occasions Of social life are
the cosy private spreads. Only a college
girl knows the meaning Of a college
spread. It is a proof Of the d~epravity of
human nature that no spread is perfect
unless held after 10 O'Clock, when in the
midst of the .hilarity each feels the in
fiuence of a prospective summons from
her corridor teacher to receive a sermon
on the value of law and order? Try to
imagine yourself an unseen spectator at
a mysterious midnight spread. You see
a large room all ablaze with light, but
with blinds shut and curtains drawn, and
a gossamer waterproof draped carefully
over the transom. lest the rays should
annoy some outsider. Within is medley.
Books are out of the way for once, and
the table is covered with a miscellaneous
collection of plates, saucers, glasses, a
cup or two, a few spoons, rarely a knife
and fork. Among these are scattered a
loaf of bread, a bag of crackers, pots OF
deviled ham and jelly, a bottle Of olives,
a pitcher of milk and another of oysters.
Half a dozen girls were in the room, one
of them anxiously inspecting the water
in a tin basin that she is carefully hold
ing ove the flame of a drop light. The
rest are scattered about the room in atti-
tudes more or less graceful. The bed,
the ehairs and the rugs on the floor are
equally patronized. All the girls are
making frantic endeavors to evolve a
theory as to the making of oyster soup,
and as the theories gradually take
definite shape they are hurled at the
martyr of the tin basin.
'.You must heat the water first. then
the milk. and put in the oysters just be-
fore il is DONE" remarks one sage cook
from the depths of an easy chair.
"No. you don't! you don't want any
water-just milk and oysters boiled to-
gether, says number two, coiled like q
kitten on a rug.
.'You must heat the oysters sepa-
rately," calls a grave, oratorical voice
from among the pillows.
''Girls," said the martyr, looking
around with an heroic air, ''you don't
n Of you know the first thing about it.
I'm making this soup, and If you don't
like il when it is done, you a come and
make some yourselves. Just at present
have the floor"
She confirms her statement by a vigo-
ous gesture that threatens the equilib-
rum of the tin basin, and the Others own
themselves obliterated and apply their
genius to other topics. The soup done. il
is served in cups, or glasses, or saucers,
and is pronounced perfect. The suffer
ing martyr has become a smiling saint,
and sits triumphantly ON the edge of the
table, while some n spreads a cracker
with jam for her benefit. The tide OF
fun rises. Again and again a laugh
rings out, to he smothered in the mids'
by the tragic gasp, Girls, somebody's
coming.' But no M comes. and after
oysters have been eaten, college news dis
cussed, and narrowing ghost stories told
in the darkened room, the girls steal
away with a reckless declaration that
they have had fun enough To pay for a
whole weeks unks.-Lippincott's Mag.
